I've been too lenient on my architectural taste lately as well. Looking forward to good discussion with the other architects at this site.

Intentionally hateful comment by the way ;) Just curious to see how much haternews picks up on it. Although the problem I describe with the content column is real, all the insults and drama isn't at all! For reference: http://imgur.com/St9hAqR Edit: My intentionally hateful comment shows up as being somewhat hateful, but not my most hateful comment. So not too bad!

Haha. Awesome! :) I'll fix the site and I'll keep improving the model.

Screenshot is FF34 if that helps by the way.

And just a fun side experiment idea: I'm curious how the IBM Watson User-Modeling service would stack up out-of-the-box against how you currently do things:

Could make for an interesting blog post if you have the time!

A few things: 1. Thanks for posting my blog post @chippy. :) The actual app ( haternews.co ) kept getting booted off HN... 2. There have been a lot of interesting comments on the three threads on here. People pointed out some bugs and overall issues which I will be fixing (also, the site should not crash half as much now). This is just a fun side project I have been messing around with so I can get better at using da…

It's interesting some of the comments that the system decided were negative from my history.

Of all of them, only one was actually negative (and that one was about people that steal AWS resources for cryptocoin mining)

Hopefully I'll have some time one evening to have a bit more of a play with your work :)

It doesn't seem to work on shadowbanned users, eg. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=TempleOS I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the API or not though.

Hmmm... seems to work for me. https://transfer.sh/TclxF/templeos.png

Here is the API call too. https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/user/TempleOS.json

Something must have went wrong, sorry!

Right you are, I think I typed it all lowercase or camel case, thanks for the clarification :)

Great! I'm excited to hear about your findings. I'll try to incorporate them into the app! :)

Afraid of negativity much?

Why do all these positive thinker optimist types insist on pushing their dogma on the rest of us? You happiness drones are nauseating. Grow up

Also, might want to work on (simplify) your algo...

I can't evaluate how serious or useful this is but I really like the idea. Anything that might encourage more constructive discussions is a perfectly valid thing to explore. I love the idea of trying to characterize the contributions of different commenters based on their history, including my own. Not just for things like "hatefulness" or "incoherence", which is what this seems to be detecting, but other things as w…

I have a dreadful fear that this will evolve into a system for trolls to keep score. "Dude! My h8r score is TWICE yours!"

Interesting. I'll check it out, thanks!
